GALLERY: Hundreds of people filled the streets of Naples Saturday for its famous annual Grape Festival
By Sonya Ellison,
State Troopers and local police departments directed traffic in downtown Naples as attendees enjoyed grape foods, live music in the park, vendors, arts and more festivities with fair weather and a backdrop of fall foliage.
Grapes are the bounty of the harvest season in the Finger Lakes wine country and many wines, baked goods as well as just about anything grape flavored could be found at the Naples Grape Festival.
Vendors like Amy’s Grape Pies sold their popular fresh grape pies and tarts.
Colby’s Ice Cream and Bake Shop of Rush is another crowd-pleasing vendor that sells fry cakes, tarts and even grape cider annually.
But if it’s grapes off the vine you crave, vendors like French Hill vineyard sells them by the pint and bushel.
Jerome’s U-Pick Grapes on State Route 53 has a vineyard open 9am to 5pm if you still want to pick your own.
